Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile communication terminals are slow to respond to user habits and frequently experience false switching between landscape and portrait modes due to reliance on gravity sensors, leading to an unsatisfactory user experience.

Innovation Solution

Implement a method to acquire and compare statistical values of landscape and portrait mode usage to automatically select the display manner that best aligns with the user's habits, using parameters such as time and frequency of use to determine the preferred display mode.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If gravity sensor is used to automatically detect device orientation and switch display mode, then automatic switching is achieved, but false switching and slow response to user habits occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic display mode switchingVSAvoidfalse switching frequency
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors user manual switching operations and uses this feedback to update the habit recognition model. When a user manually switches display mode, the system records this behavior and adjusts future automatic switching decisions based on this learned preference, reducing false switching while maintaining automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-learns user preferences through statistical analysis of historical display mode usage data before actual switching decisions are needed. By accumulating and analyzing user habits in advance, the system can make more accurate automatic switching decisions that align with user expectations, reducing false switching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Extent of automation

If gravity sensor automatically switches display mode based on device orientation, then landscape/portrait mode switching is automated, but user habit response is slow and unsatisfactory

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay mode switching automationVSAvoiduser habit response speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of user display mode preferences by collecting and statistically analyzing historical usage data before actual switching decisions are required. This pre-learning process enables the system to quickly respond to user habits when switching decisions are needed, improving response speed and user satisfaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically learns and adapts to user preferences without requiring explicit user configuration or training. By autonomously analyzing usage patterns and adjusting switching behavior accordingly, the system serves itself to improve habit response speed while maintaining automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If manual setting of landscape or portrait mode is allowed after application run, then user control is provided, but rapid adaptation to user habits is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser control over display modeVSAvoidhabit adaptation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system monitors and records user manual display mode selections, using this feedback to automatically learn and adapt to user habits over time. This creates a closed-loop system where user control actions directly influence future automatic behavior, enabling rapid habit adaptation while preserving user control capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically learns from user manual settings without requiring explicit programming or configuration by the user. By autonomously analyzing manual control patterns and adjusting switching behavior accordingly, the system achieves rapid habit adaptation while maintaining ease of operation through continued user control options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and provides an application displaying method and a mobile communication terminal based on a user's habit. The method includes: when the mobile communication terminal runs an application, acquiring a statistical value of displaying in a landscape manner and a statistical value of displaying in a portrait manner when the mobile communication terminal previously ran the application, comparing the statistical value of the landscape-manner displaying and the statistical value of the portrait-manner displaying to acquire a displaying manner corresponding to a larger displaying statistical value; and displaying a display interface of the application of the mobile communication terminal in the displaying manner corresponding to the larger displaying statistical value.
